Well, crony America is going to come out just fine on the other side of the Great Lockdown.
So much for free markets.
President Trump has announced the crony executives, economists and scholars who will be part of the central planning group that will launch the post-Great Lockdown America. Trump is calling them the Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups.
As they say in Chicago, "If you are not at the table, you are on the menu."
You are not at one of these tables.
Small business is going to get raped by this crowd.

Liberty is pinning its hopes on John Allison?
ReplyDeleteOh, big surprise that ADM is at the table. Those folks are, in my opinion, the crony's crony. That company couldn't survive without government feeding it.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the joke about 3 lions and a lamb sitting together trying to decide what to have for dinner.
ReplyDeleteThis is the list of those at the top of the Kleptocracy. This is a conspiracy to destroy all the competition while simultaneously give more capital and handouts to this club to dominate. No free market capitalism anymore. Its a kleptocracy and criminal.
ReplyDeleteNice list, the people should know their cronies. Having their home addresses would be nice, too.
